A temporary fix for the issue until SE fix the Steam Overlay integration that is causing this

1. Launch the game through Steam
2. Log-in with your account details, but DO NOT press the Play button
3. While the launcher is on the screen where you can see the Play button, launch the Task Manager, and end the Steam process
4. After Steam has been forcibly closed, press Play
5. The game should work as normal

Just started doing it this morning on the normal Launcher version.

Win 10
Got booted out of Troia yesterday with DX11 errors.

Checked drivers, restarted computer, went to bed.

Came in this morning, to a black screen

I also have this issue since 6.2, and the steam process end whilst launcher is logged & prior to play trick works, but should only be until SE do an official patch.

I also have these issues since the 6.2 update. The workaround works, but it's quite annoying to do everytime you wanna just launch the game, please fix it.

Can't wait to try this out when I get home. I was in agony last night when I couldn't play.
